New discoveries with Chloe.

Chapter 5 – Lake House Vacation (continued)

Jason finished his food and brought his plate to the sink to wash it and his utensils.

After that he went into the living room where Tristan, Leo, Heather and Alex were all watching a movie, with Tristan making comments towards Heather from time to time about the action on screen. Jason thought that Heather seemed a little annoyed, but was trying to ignore the teen’s antics, so he suppressed a smirk and continued towards the stairs, looking for Chloe.

“Chloe?” He called her name as he looked in their shared room, finding it empty.

Then he moved down the hall and knocked on the bathroom door, before opening it a crack when there was no answer right away, “Anyone in here?” He asked, only for Chloe to grab his arm and tug him inside, closing the door behind him.

“What’re you doing?” He asked as she wrapped her arms around his neck and went up on tiptoe into kissing range.

“Kissing my sexy boyfriend.” She murmured against his mouth before pressing her lips to his.

Jason’s hands went to her waist and held her loosely against him as they kissed, and when she finally pulled back, he grinned, “Guess hearing about what happened with Kate got you worked up?”

She nodded, “I wanna try something.” She pulled away, and he let her. Then she swiftly removed her jacket, and then tugged her t-shirt up over her head. Jason took the opportunity to observe her appreciatively as she reached behind her to unhook her bra. “Take your shirt off.”

Jason complied, and soon Chloe was in his arms again, both of them topless. He moaned softly as her stiff nipples pressed into him low on his chest. “Mmm, I’m liking this. Are you okay?” He asked against her hair.

The black-haired Navajo girl nodded, her braid bobbing behind her, “Yeah. We did this before in the car, remember?”

“I do. That’s why I asked if you were okay.” He said as she laid her head on his chest, and he rocked her gently back and forth. “Tell me when and if you want to do more than just hold each other.”

“Do you have enough points to remove my trauma yet?” She asked in a hesitant whisper, keeping her gaze averted.

“I can check.” He offered, slipping a hand into his pocket for his phone.

He unlocked it one-handed, then tapped the app icon with his thumb, and scrolled to the perks list while holding the phone out to the side so Chloe could see the screen too. “The cost is sixty-four points; that’s a bit more than Alex’s secret shame, but I’ve got seventy-two. Do you want me to do that now?”

She was still for a long moment, but then shook her head, “I can wait a little longer. I’d like you to have a buffer.”

Jason nodded, but his eyes lingered on her other previously hidden trait; self loathing. He wondered if she thought maybe she didn’t deserve for him to suppress her deeply rooted trauma trait. He made a choice, and purchased the perk.

“Jason, what’re you…?” She pulled away, glaring up at him, though the effect was somewhat spoiled with her being half naked.

“I made an executive decision. You’re welcome.”

She sniffled, and wrapped her arms back around him, her face hidden against his chest, “I don’t deserve you.” She murmured.

“Sure you do.” He held her close, lightly running his hands up and down her back. “Do you feel any different?”

She shook her head.

“Well, why don’t you try touching me here?” He took her hand, and guided it to his waistband.

She was hesitant as she unbuckled his belt and unsnapped his jeans, then slowly lowered his zipper. After a brief pause she reached into his boxers and pulled out his hard shaft, holding it in her hand, which began trembling after a minute as she looked up at him, a grin splitting her face, “It’s not… I can hold it!” She said. “I can…” It throbbed in response to the elation on her face and she dropped it, withdrawing her hand swiftly, only to blush apologetically, “Sorry, it… you startled me, but I’m still okay. Dang, that was trippy.”

He stood patiently waiting for her to recover her composure, her hand wrapping around his erection once more. “Have I told you I love you recently?”

“I’m sure you have.” He kissed her hair. “Did you lock the door?”

“No.” She pulled away, “And we probably shouldn’t hang around in here much longer. Might get suspicious.”

She bent to retrieve her bra, then paused looking back at him, “Sorry, I don’t want to leave you like this, but I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed. Let’s pick this back up tonight when we go to bed, okay?”

“Alright.” He put his cock away, and refastened his pants before reaching for his own shirt.

They quickly got dressed, and Chloe gave him one more brief kiss before cracking open the door. “Looks clear.” She said and then exited into the hallway.

Jason followed her out and gestured to the bedroom door, “Did you want to go over some stuff on the app?” He asked.

She paused at the top step, “I guess now’s as good a time as any.” She turned back towards their shared bedroom.

Jason locked the door as Chloe sat on his bed. He sat beside her and pulled up the app on his phone, going straight to her profile.

Chloe smiled as she examined the changes, “I was expecting more of a change, but at least it’s still progress.”

“I do wonder if some of these attitudes might not be shifting as much because you’re aware of the app.” Jason speculated.

“I’ve thought of that too, but there have been times where it’s changed a lot. I actually think it’s the energy that could be restricted. You spend energy to activate perks and branching effects, but don’t seem to gain energy from changes that occur because of those expenditures.”

“Huh, I hadn’t noticed that myself, but I’ll have to try and pay attention to that in the future.” He acknowledged before pulling up the next profile.

Special Traits: Mothering Affection, Sexual Indulgence

Temporary Traits: Outraged Heartbreak

“Those are some good changes from the last time.”

“Yeah, I had a conversation with Lena just before I came upstairs looking for you. Speaking of which, how did you know it was me coming into the bathroom?”

“I heard you calling my name as I was drying my hands, and since the bathroom door is the next door down the hall, I figured you’d be showing up there shortly.”

She smiled and leaned in to give him a kiss, then pulled back, frowning at him, “That… felt a little weird.”

“Weird how?” He asked, raising one eyebrow.

“Like… it was nice, but not scary at all.”

“Isn’t that a good thing?” His second eyebrow joined the first.

“Yeah, technically. I just like the thrill, I guess, and it’s gone. Can we try something?”

“What did you have in mind?”

“Can you turn off the perk that suppresses my trauma?”

He switched back to her profile, and did as she asked, temporarily deactivating the perk.

The change was immediate, Chloe sat a little straighter, a hint of tension blooming on her face and in her posture. “Oh wow.” She said breathily. “That’s quite a difference.”

“Did you want…” Jason began, but was interrupted by Chloe leaning in and kissing him heatedly. He wrapped his arms loosely around her as she shifted, not quite sitting on his lap.

“Mmmm, yeah, that’s nice.” She murmured against his lips when she finally broke the kiss. “Not sure if it’s better, but it’s nice.”

Jason chuckled, “Well, I guess we can go back and forth if you really want to. I wouldn’t have guessed there would be any reason to, to be honest.”

“Me either. But this does give it a bit of an edge.”

“Shall we look at the next profile?”

Chloe nodded, and sat back down fully on the mattress.

Jason decided to leave the new perk deactivated for the moment. Then he scanned through the next few profiles, and found no changes for Percy, Lucy, Leo, or Tristan, before bringing up Alex.

Alexandra Kelly

Relationship: Brother, Confidant, Secret **** Partner

Prominent Attitudes (out of 100): Affection 95, Love 73, Friendship 72, Playfulness 70, Loyalty 61, Protectiveness 50 (+1), Trust 47 (+1), Admiration 38, Worry 31, Lust 30, Submissiveness 18 (+2)

Special Traits: Fantasy Crush, **** Kink, Taboo Kink

Suppressed Traits: Secret Shame*

Active Effects: Suppress special trait (Secret Shame)

“Those are some good positive changes.”

“Submissiveness could be considered negative.”

“Naw.” Chloe countered, “You’re the dominant alpha male in the relationship.” She said in a teasing tone. “Where’s the negative in that?”

“I want her to be assertive and go for what she wants, don’t I?”

“Being submissive to you doesn’t mean she can’t be assertive in other areas of her life.” Chloe said a bit more seriously.

“You’re right.” Jason agreed. “I hope it works out for her that way. Now let’s see how much things have changed for Heather since our hike.”

Heather Chase

Relationship: Crush’s Brother, Romantic Friend, Roommate

Prominent Attitudes (out of 100): Affection 30 (+4), Jealousy 29 (-3), Lust 19* (+4), Loyalty 15 (+2), Resentment 13 (-4), Dominance 12, Beholden 12 (+4), Playfulness 9 (+1), Friendship 8 (Awakened, +8), Hostility 7 (-4)

Special Traits: Bisexual, Cocktease, Drama Queen

Active Effects: Awaken Attitude (Lust)

“Damn, that’s a lot. Romantic friend, resentment and jealousy down. And hostility. And almost everything else up, including friendship as a new attitude.” Chloe said as she read through all the changes. “Did you use any perks besides the stamina on Heather today?”

“I used suggestive receptivity on her just before confronting her at our second stop.”

“Then that just supports my hypothesis about energy not being earned when changes are made using perks and branching effects.”

“Yeah, that’s a lot of change, and I didn’t end up with a huge influx of energy from it. I think it’s just Kate left now.”

“And Manny.” She reminded him. “But let’s see Kate’s profile.”

Katherine O’Connell

Relationship: Best Friend’s Brother, Lover, Roommate

Prominent Attitudes (out of 100): Loyalty 55 (+1), Affection 40 (+6), Friendship 36 (+6), Lust 35 (+24), Love 30 (+26), Protectiveness 24, Trust 22 (+2), Nostalgia 19, Worry 13 (+1), Admiration 4 (+2), Jealousy 3 (Awakened, +3)

Special Traits: Childhood Crush

“Holy shit, that’s even more changes.”

“I’m not surprised.” Jason agreed.

“Damn.” Chloe said, grinning from ear to ear. “Damn, lover boy. Twenty-four lust, twenty-six love. Ladies and gentlemen, we have a winner!” She turned and kissed him hungrily. “God, I’m so wet right now.” She whispered without breaking contact with his lips.

“Will you let me try something then?” He asked, between kisses.

“Um, yeah. Just turn the trauma off first.”

He nodded, and turned back to his phone long enough to reactivate Chloe’s perk. The change in her body language was subtle, but immediate. “That still feels weird.” She murmured.

“I guess it’s something you’ll get used to.” He told her.

Chloe leaned back, and began unfastening her jeans, “You want to feel, right?” She asked, as he watched her excitedly, and nodded. “Well go ahead.” She continued as she pushed her jeans and panties down her long brown thighs past her knees.

Jason leaned over her as she lay back, and spread her legs, his fingers combing through her trimmed black pubic hair, immediately growing slick with her copious juices. She drew in a sharp breath as his fingertips brushed over her clit, and dipped between her folds. “Jason, god! No one… I’ve never let anyone else touch me there before. Not by choice!” There were tears in her eyes, and he didn’t have to ask if they were tears of joy as she couldn’t stop grinning. She wriggled her hips and arched her back as his finger slipped inside her, the flow of her juices making the penetration incredibly smooth. “Fuck!” She moaned, closing her eyes, “Fuck, Jason! Fuck! Fuck me!” She raised her hips, pushing against his hand, and his finger penetrated another inch, almost to the third knuckle, but then she cried out, “Ow, fuck, stop!” She jerked back, and Jason withdrew his hand as swiftly as he could.

“What’s wrong?” He asked, blinking at her, forcing himself to meet her gaze rather than ogle her exposed sex.

“That hurt. You scratched me with your nail or something.”

Jason looked at his hand, his fingernails trimmed quite short, and filed smooth. “I don’t think it was my nail.” He muttered.

“Don’t fuck with me, Jason.” She growled, irritation growing on her face as she reached down to slip her own finger up inside herself, pushing gently until she reached the second knuckle. “I can feel where it’s tender about an inch deep on the left side.”

“I’m not, look.” He held his hand out to her, and her brows furrowed as she took hold of his hand with the same hand that she’d just used to probe herself.

“Huh…” She ran her finger tips along his fingernails. “Okay, I guess they are pretty blunt. Then how did you hurt me?”

“Let’s get your pants all the way off so I can get a look at you, okay?”

She nodded, and he knelt on the floor, removing her boots before tugging her jeans the rest of the way off her legs, followed by her panties, taking note of the thick pad caught in the gusset which was not quite soaked through.

Then he pushed her thighs apart, spreading her legs as she watched him warily. He leaned in, examining her sex up close, and spreading her vulva with a finger from each hand. The sticky mess flowing from her core had slowed a little, but it still stretched in strands along her inner walls, revealing something he hadn’t expected. Just about an inch inside her, a barrier of pink flesh stretched across her channel with a bit of blood seeping from where it had appeared to have been torn a little on the right side. Her left.

“Chloe…!” His eyes went wide.

“What?” Her voice was hesitant, concerned.

“I think I hit your hymen.”

“What?!” She sat up. “How? Hymens don’t grow back, do they?”

“Not to my knowledge.”

“But… I’ve had my fingers in there loads. And… and…” She sniffed. “Jason, I was… wasn’t I?” She lay back and threw an arm over her face. “Fuck! What’s going on with me? I thought… but I didn’t… what if…”

Her words obviously weren’t keeping up with her train of thought, but Jason had an idea what she was getting at. “You were molested, but not actually ****?” He suggested.

“It’s a weird distinction.” She nodded, not meeting his eyes. “But yeah, that must be the case. Maybe they looked, and touched me, but they didn’t…” She sat back up and stared at his eyes. “Jason! I’m still a virgin!”

He smiled, “Technically, yeah.” She threw her hands around his neck and pulled herself up for another heated kiss, her tongue swiftly invading his mouth, welcomed by his own tongue.

Then as quickly as she’d started, she pushed him back, “Fuck, let me get my pants back on.”

“What? Why? Aren’t we…?”

“Jason, I’m not losing my virginity like this. We need to make it special.”

His arousal was disappointed, but he completely understood. He helped her get dressed, handing her her panties and jeans, then helping her get her boots on while she zipped and fastened her pants.

Then they stood, and she kissed him briefly yet again, “Thanks. You’re so amazing Jason, even if you did tear my hymen.”

“It’s weird too. It’s not that deep, but I still got my entire finger into you without tearing the whole thing.”

“Well, it’s supposed to be really elastic and stretchy. I’ve heard girls talk about using tampons without tearing their hymen, so I’m guessing my fingers just weren’t long enough to do more than stretch it a little.”

“And you never noticed it was still there? Never felt it?”

“How was I supposed to know what to feel for? It’s not like I ever got it checked out by a doctor or anything. I was compelled to hide it and not talk about it, and I was too scared and ashamed to ever try using a dildo.”

“You don’t have to be scared or ashamed ever again.” He told her, enveloping her in his arms.

“I’m sure that’s not true. There are plenty of things to be scared of out there. Specially when you know that magic is real.” She said with a chuckle muffled by his shirt. Then she pulled back after a moment, wiping her face with her jacket sleeve to get rid of the remnants of her drying tears. “Now come on, let’s go downstairs before they send a search party. I’ve got some planning to do for… well whenever I decide the time is right. Fuck this is such a good feeling.”

“I’m glad I could be here with you for this discovery.” He acknowledged as he released her and stepped back.

She moved to the door, but then spun back around without turning the knob. “Hey wait, Manny!”

“Oh, that’s right.” Jason pulled his phone back out, and scrolled down the fairly extensive list of profiles until he found Manny’s.

Manfred Carson

Relationship: Gaming Buddy, Rival

Prominent Attitudes (out of 100): Friendship 19, Jealousy 5

“Huh, okay, that’s not nearly as dramatic as I was envisioning.”

“Yeah, neither attitude is very high. He could have hidden traits though, right?”

Chloe nodded, but shrugged, “Probably nothing huge. We can keep an eye on it, but I don’t think it’s a major issue at present. Now come on.” She turned back around to exit the room, and he followed her out and down the stairs.
